We are looking at purchasing our first electric car. It will be primarily used for comuniting to and from work so less the 50km/30miles a day. The dealers tell us this would recharge in a few hours on a 240v 10amp gpo at home. I have no reason to not believe them but is this the best thing for the life of the battery? Or should the plan be to run the battery down and charge for longer at home or visit a fast charger once a week?

Also for not it will be used for longer trips 2 or 3 times a year. Up to 1200 km round trip.
